damn man, you should probably use some punctuation in there. now my head hurts from reading that.
anyways you can find a aftermarket springs and struts using google or check out the site sponsors. look at the for sale section.

if your looking for just springs, check out tein. i got a set of s-techs and they dropped the car and it looks pretty good. and the ride isnt that bad and i did alot more than just springs. and the s-techs arent even that expensive,.

i was thinking about the tein but was not sure, but if you say the ride not that bad how the handling ? how low does the tein drop the car. and they drop right in to the stock shock ? anyone else use any other brand of spring ?

tein S-tech springs,tokico shocks,rear camber 2.0,tein struts F and R make driving fun for me....as for the question,tein,rs-r,tenabe,RB,eibach all make springs at good prices,finding them priced good is another thing. Alot of people like RB,tein, and eibach..any of these is good.
I had the same issue with my suspension (89 gxl w/aas). The only people who had stock replacements was mazda canada and it was like $1200,better off buying coilovers at that price. I like the backroads,no not drifting but love corners at high speeds.My setup feels great as is..
I'm going to change them again soon as I learned cusco makes inverted struts for FC![Wallbash](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/wallbash.gif)
89 gxl na soon t2 (wolf in sheeps clothing)
RB headers,presilencer,Apexi intake,AFC neo-tuned,n1 evo exh, PR 6 port inserts,550cc secondaries,SRmotorsport pulley kit,upgraded pads and rotors,exedy 3 puck,ksp intake light duct

Get some mk1 coils of ebay and some kyb agx struts.
Not a bad price and you have the ability to adjust your wheel gap to whatever wheels you switch out to.
For instance, the stock gxl rims and my 35 offset 17x7's would allow me to slam the **** out of my car so all you would see is rim lip and almost no tire sidewall.
When i got my new wheels, i had to raise the car because they would have scrubbed the fenders bad.

i think i will go with the tein spring and put then over the stock shock as a few people on here say the ride is decent on normal driveing, and it handle pretty good hopefully your right and i just dont waste my money.

It's the cusco zero 2R coilover system.... If you go to the site they tell you about specs. went and looked for link.....got multiple places to buy from. price is the killer--2,300-2,600 depending where you look. horsepowerfreaks carries them for the FC

What do you mean by "total gone" ? Is it bottoming out, bouncy? If that's the case you should
get new struts first. If you buy new springs and mount them on worn struts there will be no
improvement.It might even be worse especially if the springs are lowered.
